Moving to Texas?

Nicknamed the Lone Star, Texas was an independent nation between 1836 and 1845 and Texans still relish a certain separation from the rest of the United States. Some say that its part of the South, others claim that its Spanish roots bond it to the Southwest, but most Texans will have none of it. Although physically enormous, the state is held together by shared culture, identity and ideology, all bigger and better than everywhere else, of course! From its inherent distrust of government to the absence of any unionised labour, the key theme here is independence. Whatever you do, don’t mess with Texas…

Nomadic people roamed the mountains and prairies as long as three thousand years ago, leaving pictograms behind them. Around 500 BC, Native Americans began to build villages, farm and create the first burial mounds. By the time the first Europeans appeared in the seventeenth century, over twenty different tribes shared the land. The Spanish established a colony near El Paso in 1682. The French followed suit in Matagorda Bay in 1685 but the attempt was short lived, succumbing to hostile tribesmen within four years. Mexico then owned the territory until it declared independence in 1836; in 1845 it became part of the United States but it seceded to join the Confederacy in 1861. Finally, in 1865, after suffering defeat in the Civil War, it became the twenty-ninth state to join the Union. Because of all these changes, the flags of all six countries that have held dominion over the area are incorporated on the reverse of the Seal of Texas.

Although it was always a ranching centre, leading America in almost all aspects of agricultural production, the discovery of huge oil reserves in 1901 transformed the economy permanently. The brash city of Dallas exemplifies the Big Money ethos, even though there are no oil reserves nearby. Royalties from oil continue to provide a large proportion of the funds for public universities in the state. Other valuable resources include sulphur, salt, helium, asphalt, graphite, bromine and natural gas. Texas emits more greenhouse gases than any other US state – if it were still an independent nation, it would rank seventh highest in greenhouse gas production.

The Texan landscape is incredibly varied: from the swampy forested east, where the Big Thicket Natural Preserve hides a thriving animal life, including deer, alligators, armadillos, possums, hogs and panthers; via the steamy Gulf Coast in the south; to the looming mesas of the West, where the peyote cactus blossoms in Big Bend National: there is something here to fit any fancies. The gentle green Hill Country around Austin seems the perfect place to meet another local animal, the cowboy. But you’ll have to go south to Houston for the annual Livestock and Rodeo Show.

Texas has produced some fairly disastrous politicians: after John Kennedy was shot in Dallas in 1963, Lyndon Johnson became president and led America into the Vietnam War. Forty years later, George W Bush – one of the most polarising figures in recent history – created his own Vietnam in Iraq. Fortunate, then, that the creative scene is so strong: musicians from all over the world come to Austin looking for fame, fortune or just someone to jam with. The rightly acclaimed Austin City Limits Music Festival brings together 130 bands on eight stages for three days of fun. Performers as diverse as Erykah Badu and Buddy Holly have emerged from the scene. Guess it’s all part of the melting pot…
